Pine Supervisors Approve $2 Million Contract for Road and Storm Sewer Improvements

The Pine Board of Supervisors awarded a $2 million contract to Shields Asphalt Paving of Valencia on Monday for road and storm sewer improvements.

A separate $62,700 contract was awarded to Matcon Diamond for road maintenance and crack sealing on township roads.

For the first time, the township will try a product called Forta-Fi to reinforce asphalt on select roads, said Assistant Township Manager Scott Anderson. Reinforcing fibers are mixed into the asphalt to strengthen it and ultimately prolong the life of roads, according to Forta-Fi's website.

Road improvements are planned for Stonewood Drive, Stonewood East Drive, Salem Heights Drive, Northbrook Drive, Palomino Drive, Condor Lane, Falcon Court, Peregrine Drive, Pine Community Center access drive, Clover Lane's old township section, Bay Hill Drive, Aviara Place, Pinehurst Lane, Isleworth Lane, Deering Bay Court and Grandview Drive.

Other improvements include pipe repair on Spruce Haven; section repairs on Dean and Mount Pleasant roads; spot repairs on Manor Road and trail repair on English Road.

A sidewalk will be installed along North Chapel Drive near the Route 910 intersection.
